Angela C. Santomero's Princess Penelope Book Series Expands with Two New Adventures
Children's media creator Angela C. Santomero is adding two new titles to her Princess Penelope book series, set for release in November 2026.
The Princess Penelope book series, created by Emmy Award-winning children's media producer Angela C. Santomero, is expanding with two new adventures. Bunny Lala's Big Song and Pirate Argh's Treasure Hunt will be released on November 3, 2026, by 4U2B Books & Media, an imprint of Loyola Press.
Santomero, also known for her work on shows like Blue's Clues and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, developed the Princess Penelope world with a mission to help raise children who can think for themselves and care about others. The book series is an extension of a popular YouTube Kids series that has garnered over 12 million views.
The new books introduce beloved characters. Bunny Lala's Big Song follows a bunny's journey to find the courage to share her voice, while Pirate Argh's Treasure Hunt involves a pirate and a quest for buried treasure. The stories aim to foster imagination, interactivity, and confidence-building.
Santomero emphasizes that kindness and smarts together form a child's "superpower." With these additions, the Princess Penelope series now includes four books, extending the story world for families to enjoy together through reading.
